Sometimes you have to walk away from events looking at the positives, not the results, to see how much you’ve improved. MX Fest since moving to the 85 has always has a different challenge each year – mechanicals, strange crashes, racing stopped early due to big incidents – but this year it went smoothly. I haven’t raced Taupo in almost a year so really had to get comfortable being uncomfortable and just ride. I set a goal of Top 10 for the day with no breaks to me or my bike and I achieved it. So much little stuff that no one sees went right and then we got to finish the day at the Bell Dirt Sprints.
